After a lengthy admission of 11 hours on 28th May I spent 2 days and nights in Elizabeth ward and the care I received was excellent. The staff, in the ward, doctors, nurses, carers, A&E, admissions, porters, shop, restaurant, those doing all the tests were all brilliant, too many good ones to name them, they have a very good team spirit. They made me feel very well cared for and definitely assisted my recovery, thank you so much!
The food in the ward and restaurant was also great.
On negative points the showers had very poor flow and to get an adequate flow of water it was cold; my MRI took too long, nearly 3 days, and I understood there were 180 waiting and thus caused me to bed block for probably a day and a half; and it seems admission and less so the discharge processes were clunky causing further delays and some wasted resource.
